"It's down to the shakes I feel"

The tremor never stops
my nerves are shot
a constant vibration like a tuning fork
hums through my hands
and the note it plays
can be seen in the almost imperceptible way they move
as if they have a constant source of energy to twitch
a switch that was never turned off
and now they’re paused on pulsate
and as I clasp the towel around myself tight
left hand always under right
at this time most every night
I wonder
what makes them shake in fright?
